Yeah, you study hard, take the TEST FROM HELL, then the SEC, and the NASD make and enforce rules, so you cannot make money. You cannot short, unless on a uptick You cannot trade unless you have $25,000 or more in your account You cannot pass go or collect $200 dollars.
I love how detached the SEC is from the day-to-day market reality to use the word "scalper" to define this behavior.
